What is Northwood Like?

Northwood offers quick and easy access to central London, giving you the best of both worlds: the hustle and bustle of London on tap, with relaxing, green spaces at home. 

Ruislip Woods is a 726-acre stretch of woodland on your doorstep, and nestled within is a 60-acre lake with a beach. If that wasn’t enough, you’ve also the Oxhey Woods with its rambling walks and marvellous sculpture trail. 

That trail is just one example of how good Northwood is for families. Everything London has to offer is within easy reach – the Overground can get you to Kew Gardens in less than an hour – and you’ve got plenty in your back garden to keep the children entertained. Not only that, but the schools in Northwood are exemplary.  

With so much to find within Northwood, it’s hard to pick just a few highlights, but we recommend:

Schools in the Area

Parents will appreciate the high number of schools in the Northwood area that have been rated ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, ensuring there’s plenty of choice for a quality education for their children. 

The Hall School is an independent preparatory school accepting children from 3 months to 7 years old. The school enjoys an ‘outstanding’ rating, and believes that the early learning ability of children is underestimated and seeks to help their students achieve their very best. 

St Helen’s School admits girls from 3-18, and is the only school in the UK to be shortlisted for T4’s inaugural World’s Best School Prize for Innovation. 96% of its A-level students achieved A*-B grades, with the same proportion going on to attend Russell Group Universities.

Attractions in Northwood

Given its name, it’s unsurprising that there’s plenty of greenery and woodland in Northwood, despite its proximity to central London.  

And if you’re surprised to find such large green spaces in Northwood, you might be even more surprised to find a beach. Ruislip Lido is a 60-acre lake with sandy beaches on the edge of Ruislip Woods. Build sandcastles, have fun on the splash pad, or explore the pirate ship, or take a trip around the lido and through the woods on Britain’s longest 12” gauge railway. 

You’ll find another excellent green space in Oxhey Woods and the sculpture trail that makes for a fantastic day out with children. The Woods themselves are 100 hectares of ancient semi-natural woodland featuring a number of walking routes, and the sculpture trail features contributions from renowned artists such as Dan Cordell, Will Embliss, and the Tree Pirates. 

For something a little different, head to Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds. Set within 60 acres of beautiful countryside, this shooting club has been providing careful shooting tuition with shotguns and rifles since 1939. Instruction is tailored to the individual, so it’s perfect for the expert or the amateur. There’s a selection of courses each designed for different skill levels, as well as an indoor rifle range. 

For another fantastic destination with the kids, Jurassic Island Adventure Golf is an 18-hole mini golf course with a prehistoric twist. As you putt past the cascading waterfalls and tropical palm trees, you’ll spot the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex or the terrifying Spinosaurus. Play for an audience of a mother Triceratops and her children, or take tips from a friendly Stegosaurus. Children will learn fascinating facts as well as having a good time, and pets are welcome too! 

Bars, Restaurants and Nightlife in Northwood

Whether you’re looking for a drink, a meal, or a great night out, there’s plenty of fantastic destinations in Northwood. 

Lomito is the result of an Anglo-Argentine love affair, when two people met in 1973 and combined their cuisines into something special on the plates at Lomito. Beef plays a big role at Lomito and they’re understandably very proud of their steaks and burgers, but you’ll find other delicious dishes on the menu, including vegetarian options. 

For a taste of Italy, Northwood Piazza is an authentic, family-run restaurant offering delicious pizza, pasta, and Italian specialties, all cooked with the best in-season ingredients and served within a friendly, atmospheric restaurant. A party room with space for 30 people means they can host almost any event you can imagine, all catered with incredible, authentic Italian cuisine. 

For a great place to drink, head to the Black Horse. A traditional yet unique local pub, the building dates back to the 1700s and retains a number of original features with some modern twists. All the big games are shown on HD and 3D TV screens around the pub, and live bands play every Friday. There’s a huge selection of beers, ciders, ales, wines, spirits, and both soft and hot drinks. Classic pub food is available alongside, from chicken roast dinners to fish and chips, as well as an Indian menu with Kenyan culinary influences. The Black Horse even offers a Kenyan Koroga experience, where you cook your own dish around a coal pit barbecue! 

If you’re looking to let out your inner superstar, Sync offers a place to eat, sing, and shine. There’s four karaoke rooms of differing sizes, so you can pick the right one for your group. Enjoy the huge cocktail menu, wide range of wines, spirits, beers or soft drinks. For the hungry, there’s also a delicious American-inspired menu filled with sharing options. Whether you’re planning a children’s party, a hen party, or just a night out with some friends and family, you’ll be welcome at Sync. 

Leisure Centres and Outdoor Activities

If you’re looking to get active, there’s no better place to do it than Northwood. 

St Helen’s Sports Centre is linked to St Helen’s School, and offers a wealth of facilities no matter what form of exercise you prefer. The centre has 21 acres of stunning grounds and offers a 25-metre swimming pool, a 26-station fitness studio, dance studios, a 4-court sports hall with a climbing wall, as well as outdoor tennis and netball courts and an all-weather pitch for football, hockey, and lacrosse. 

David Lloyd Northwood health club offers superb facilities in the heart of Northwood’s beautiful countryside. There are over 30 racquets courts, and the gym spans two floors and features the latest in fitness technology such as the all-in-one Synrgy360 system. There are two pools, one 25-metre indoor pool and a new 20-metre outdoor pool. The club also offers a new state-of-the-art Spa Retreat and Spa Garden too. 

Northwood offers golfers a wealth of choice, with many golf clubs in the local area. Chief among them isNorthwood Golf Club, which has seen much change since it was founded in 1891. Originally built as a 9-hole golf course, it was expanded to 18 holes in 1920 and then mown up to grow potatoes, make hay, and graze sheep to support the war efforts. You won’t find sheep on the fairways today, just a beautiful course and a refurbished club house nestled at the edge of Ruislip Woods. 

Sandy Lodge Golf Club sits in the midst of the Moor Park estate, offering both a beautiful and central location. Open since 1910, the 18-hole course was designed by six time Open Championship winner Harry Vardon. Members can choose to enjoy leisurely games or embark on competitions, with coaching and excellent practice facilities on-site.
